Clients contain the Graphic User Interface through which players interact with the game.
Desktop Clients[]
These clients are downloadable, with current and historical release versions. The game as played through desktop clients is highly modifiable, with many released Modpacks.
GTK[]
- The GTK Client is the classic Freeciv client. Additionally, it contains the Freeciv Map Editor.[1][2]
SDL[]
- The SDL Client possesses a convenient GUI.
Qt[]
- The Qt Client is relatively new, but has an improved GUI.
Xaw[]
- The XAW Client is considered as "historic", see X Athena Widgets on enwiki.
Freeciv-Web[]
Freeciv-Web clients are played online through a web browser at freecivweb.org on the Freeciv-Web online server. Access is uniformly rendered by the web client the server provides to the browser (not desktop clients.)
HTML5[]
- The Freeciv Web Client is the standard, 2D Client for Freeciv-Web.
WebGL[]
- The WebGL Client is a high-quality, 3D-rendered client for Freeciv-Web using the Three.js 3D engine that requires WebGL 3D hardware.
